Martin Carr reviews the thirteenth episode of Supergirl… Feeling like a throwback to Alien and those programmes confident enough to put two people in a room for an hour with no action. Supergirl hit her stride yet again with pitched battles, comedic elements and alien parasites. Coupled with moments of pathos in an episode which […]

Martin Carr reviews the twelfth episode of Supergirl… Who cares what the tailoring’s like? Sharp suited or slovenly, dishevelled or dynamic. As someone once said those clothes don’t make the man. If you’re bat shit crazy with the mentality of a man-child it’s gonna end in tears. No discussion. Add an inflated ego and intellectual […]

Martin Carr reviews the eleventh episode of Supergirl… Aside from the double-edged sword which is this week’s tagline. Supergirl manages to sneak in something far deeper than Melissa Benoist’s husband Blake Jenner. Not that his contribution fails to bring substance to the episode or Cat Grant’s adopted son Adam Foster. To be honest I had […]

Martin Carr reviews the tenth episode of Supergirl… A few things have caused me to cast aside trivial preoccupations. The double departure of David Bowie and Alan Rickman has knocked me for six. Whilst the red band trailer for Deadpool and Hard R rated lip synch rendition of ‘Pony’ by one Jenna Dewan Tatum, has […]

Martin Carr reviews the eighth episode of Supergirl… Supergirl moved into the topical realm of cyber terrorism this week, when Kara faced off against Auntie Astra and Uncle Non. While Cat Grant fell victim to industrial espionage, which served to unearth the odd secret and generally broaden the playing field. Although performances were uniformly good […]

Martin Carr reviews the sixth episode of Supergirl, ‘Red Faced’… Supergirl just got picked up for a full season. With ratings that topped fourteen million and some consistent episodes, this will come as no surprise. Apart from a lacklustre outing in the third week, we have been treated to a fresh and entertaining take on […]

Martin Carr reviews the seventh episode of Supergirl, ‘Human For a Day’… With Charles Halford under loads of latex this week, Supergirl continues to be worth its network weight in gold. Chiefly because it pulls a Superman II on Melissa Benoist. Yes this is clichéd. Yes I saw it coming in the closing moments of episode […]

Martin Carr reviews the fifth episode of Supergirl… Something fundamental happened between episodes three and five. In light of those Paris bombings we have jumped ahead one and stumbled on ‘Live Wire’. A cohesively structured, powerhouse of an instalment, which puts Supergirl back on the map. Concerning itself with less navel gazing and more substance. […]

Martin Carr reviews the fourth episode of Supergirl… Now we get that missing episode you start seeing how Supergirl has turned things round. There are motives aplenty, minimal saccharine soaked lovefests. While episode four does everything its bland predecessor fudged up in such fashion. Managing to give us intrigue, character beats and supply a long-term […]

Martin Carr reviews the third episode of Supergirl… It’s so much easier to write a bad review. For anyone who reads but never writes them they are often fun, scathing and without mercy. Reason being that the reviewer has something to get their collective teeth into. Issues arise when you actually like the show but […]
